The next global girl group from HYBE and Geffen Records has officially been revealed. During the finale broadcast of WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE on Japan’s streaming platform ABEMA, the four-member group was introduced under the name SAINT SATINE.

The newly formed group consists of Emily (20, USA), Lexie (21, Sweden), Samara (20, Brazil), and the newest addition, Sakura (16, Japan). Emily, Lexie, and Samara first gained international attention through the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, where they quickly built a dedicated global fanbase.

The group’s final member was selected through WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE, a large-scale audition project produced in partnership with ABEMA. Sakura emerged victorious among more than 14,000 applicants, officially completing SAINT SATINE’s lineup during the series finale that aired earlier today.

Alongside the finale, HYBE x Geffen Records also released the digital single album World Scout: The Final Piece – Finale. The two-track release captures the climactic performances from the competition’s final round, spotlighting finalists Sakura and runner-up Ayana as they performed alongside Emily, Lexie, and Samara.

Leading the release is “PARTY b4 the PARTY,” performed by Sakura with the rest of SAINT SATINE. The high-energy urban pop track combines playful percussion, heavy bass transitions, and dynamic harmonies, delivering an anthem centered on the excitement leading up to a night out. The second track, “WE RIDE,” features runner-up Ayana alongside the group members in a nostalgic yet modern R&B-inspired sound built around smooth harmonies and sleek production.

A performance video for “PARTY b4 the PARTY” was also unveiled following the finale broadcast, giving fans a first official look at SAINT SATINE as a complete group.

According to HYBE x Geffen, the name “SAINT SATINE” reflects the group’s duality and artistic identity. “SAINT” symbolizes exceptional musicality and charisma, while “SATINE” represents elegance, softness, and sophistication. The group is described as existing “at the intersection of desire and transcendence,” balancing refinement and boldness in both music and image.

WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE continues the successful collaboration between HYBE America and Geffen Records, following the global success of KATSEYE. The partnership launched a worldwide audition campaign in 2021 to create a multicultural pop group that could transcend cultural and artistic boundaries. More than 120,000 applicants auditioned for the original project, which later became the foundation for Dream Academy and the Netflix series Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.

Since debuting, KATSEYE has earned two GRAMMY nominations and three American Music Awards nominations. Their second EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, while their third EP, WILD, is scheduled for release on August 14.

With its final lineup now complete, SAINT SATINE is set to begin its journey as HYBE x Geffen’s newest global pop act, carrying the momentum of one of the industry’s most ambitious international talent projects.
